SunButter Carrot Cake Pops

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Your favorite springtime cake on a stick! Easy SunButter Carrot Cake Pops with a vegan paleo no-bake center, tangy lemon glaze, and sweet coconut coating!

SunButter Carrot Cake Pops
THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY SUNBUTTER®

I’ve seen a lot (soooooooooo many) carrot cakes floating around the internets and instagrams lately. Beautiful, delicious, enticing creations, and I would happily accept a bite of each. But I have one little complaint with all of them: they require, well, effort. Grating of carrots, mixing of ingredients, baking of batters, frosting of cakes…after moving last week, I just don’t have it in me right now.

So consider these SunButter Carrot Cake Pops the path of least resistance to your favorite springtime cake. No ovens, no forks, just a perfect bite of tangy-glazed, coconut-coated, no-bake carrot cake.

Or two bites if you want to keep it classy and unmessy. Or three if you never want the pop to end. Or four if you are an actual bunny.

SunButter Carrot Cake Pops

Carrot cake is arguably one of the best flavors of cake. Fluffy baked carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is a direct competitor with chocolate in my cake ranking. And if you’ve got that kind of baking motivation, then good. for. you. Right this way my ambitious and patient friend, I’ve got THE vegan/gf carrot cake recipe for you.

But if you’re on team I Want To Be Eating Cake In Under an Hour (hi, hello, me!), then stay in this line and keep on scrolling…

SunButter Carrot Cake Pops

I’ve figured out a few no-bake secrets by now to trick ourselves into believing we actually baked. All of which are working their magic here, and all of which I’m about to share with you:

  • Grate your carrots very fine. Use a food processor if you have one. But please, oh please do not buy matchsticks and think that is okay. It is not. You will have regrets.
  • Coconut flour for “fluff”. Nothing creates a no-bake cake texture quite like it.
  • SunButter! This is the glue, the moisture, the richness, the thickener to our powdered sugar free glaze. This is the reason carrot cake pops exist.
  • The lemon glaze. Biting through a tangy-sweet lemon layer before your teeth sink into soft cake – that is the moment that makes these not just balls or bites but truly cake pops.

Those are your MUST KNOW facts for this recipe. Spices, salt, vanilla, a handful of chopped walnuts, coconut shreds for coating – all nice details too.

No Sugar Added SunButer

If y’all don’t know about my love affair with SunButter by now, where have you even been living? I chose the No Sugar Added kind for this recipe because a) it’s my favorite b) these pops are already sweetened with maple syrup and c) the jar is orange which matches carrots.

If I’m being honest, it was mostly C.

SunButter Carrot Cake Pops

Cheers to carrot cake but 10x easier and on a stick!

Description

Your favorite springtime cake on a stick! Easy SunButter Carrot Cake Pops with a vegan paleo no-bake center, tangy lemon glaze, and sweet coconut coating!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/3 cup (85g) No-Sugar Added SunButter
  • 1/2 cup (50g) finely shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 2/3 cup (70g) coconut flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup (35g) chopped walnuts

Glaze

  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp No-Sugar Added SunButter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Shredded coconut for coating

Instructions

Whisk together the applesauce, SunButter, carrots, maple syrup, and vanilla.

Add the coconut flour, spices, salt, and walnuts if using. Mix to form a thick dough.

Roll into 12 balls. You can insert sticks to make them true cake pops if you want.

Freeze while you prepare the glaze.

Whisk together the glaze ingredients. Everything needs to be at room temperature or it will clump.

Dip each ball in glaze, then roll in shredded coconut to coat.

Chill for at least 30 minutes so they will firm up and the glaze can set.

Enjoy!

    I think you just changed my mind about raw carrots! Because sunbutter, coconut, butter, maple syrup . – YUM! And the cuteness level is off the charts without having to shape and color things – because I’d like to save my time and talent for other projects. I am all about instant gratification in terms of cake 😉 Happy Easter, Natalie =)

      It’s all about grinding them up really fine I think! But yes, the baked carrot-y treats are some of my faves too🧡

    It’s not common to find apple sauce where I live. If available, it is too expensive, cause it’s imported. What can the apple sauce be substituted with? Thank you

      You could use mashed banana or pumpkin puree or maybe even yogurt instead! Or make your own applesauce 🙂

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles

Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten.

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
